Kartik Aaryan’s film ‘Chandu Champion’ has done well at the box office. The film earned Rs 5.4 crore on the first day. This inspirational sports biopic based on the life of India’s first Paralympic gold medalist Muralikant Petkar is directed by Kabir Khan.

‘Chandu Champion’ earned around Rs 5.4 crore on the first day. This is the lowest opening of any Kartik Aaryan film after ‘Pyaar Ka Punchnama 2’ in 2015, which was his breakout hit.

This is almost half of the opening day collection of his previous film ‘Satyaprem Ki Katha’ last year, which was Rs 8.25 crore. Kartik’s ‘Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2’ had a brilliant opening of Rs 14.11 crore, eventually grossing Rs 265.5 crore globally.

The sports drama garnered an overall viewership of 16.84 per cent.

India Today.in’s review wrote, “What makes Chandu Champion worth a watch is that Kabir Khan believes completely in his story and turns it into a feel-good film. It’s about heroism and recognising your own potential, giving your best despite adversity, and sticking to your dream. It doesn’t just sound clichéd but trite and yet it involves us on a human level.”

‘Chandu Champion’ is produced by Sajid Nadiadwala and Kabir Khan. The film is directed by Kabir Khan. It will be released in theaters on June 14, 2024.
